2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale

2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale Superbike

Ducati keeps producing one hot bike after another; just releasing information on the all-new Ducati 1199 Panigale.  The 1199 Panigale will be made public on November 10 at EICMA, the 69th Milan motorcycle show will be held from November 10 to 13, 2011.

The Ducati 1199 Panigale is not only lighter than the 1198 but also packs a bigger punch.  The superbike is powered by the Superquadro twin-cylinder engine that produces 195 horsepower, 20 more than the standard 1198.  The 1199 weighs in at 361 pounds, 22 pounds lighter than the 1198.  This thing should be a hoot to rip around on some twisty roads.

2013 Ducati 1199 Panigale R Superbike

Ducati introduces the all-new 2013 1199 Panigale R superbike, which is a step above the 1199 Panigale S model introduced last year.

The 1199 Panigale S was powered by a 195 horsepower V-Twin engine which has been tweaked for the R version and now revs to an incredible 12,000 rpm (up 500 rpm).  Although Ducati didn’t say anything about increase in horsepower, I’m thinking the bike might hit 200 HP?

Luxury Sailboat on the water

Sarissa Super-Yacht from Dutch Vitters Shipyard

Dutch Vitters Shipyard has revealed their latest creation, the Sarissa, a 42.6 meter (140 ft) sailing super-yacht. The luxurious Sarissa was designed by the highly praised naval architect Bill Tripp and Rhoades Young Design Ltd. The Sarissa also happens to be the largest Dutch-built carbon fiber sloop to date. I’m usually not a big fan of sail boats but this particular yacht features so much luxury that you have no choice but to like it.

In terms of the exterior, the only thing that is impressive is the size of the sailing yacht. At 42.6 meters, it’s a pretty long boat. Most of the magic on the Sarissa is in its high-quality finishing touches, luxurious interior, and technology. The Sarissa truly is a home away from home.

SsangYong Korando Sports Pickup Truck e1349852637166

Ssang Yong Korando Sports Pickup Truck

I really can’t picture people in the UK driving trucks. When I think of that region, small cars usually come to mind. But South Korean manufacturer, SsangYong, is now selling their Korando Sports truck in the United Kingdom. The small pickup truck is priced between $29,250 and $34,000.

The small, four door pickup truck, features a short bed providing 22 square feet of loading area. The Korean car manufacturer is hoping to market the vehicle to the UK citizens who need a working vehicle, the practicality of a four-wheel drive, towing capacity of up to 2.3 tons, and also so as a family vehicle.

Transformers 3 – Bumble Bee As Datsun 510

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stars in Transformers 3

Word on the street is that in the upcoming Transformers 3, Bumble Bee might be disguised as a Datsun 510. I’m a big Datsun fan and have my own little Datsun 260Z project going at the moment. The Datsun grease monkeys should be pretty excited about this. Check out the pictures below of a scene being shot. Pictures also include hottie
